Get ready to say good-bye to “Glee.”

The ground-breaking musical comedy will end its run after next season, says co-creator Ryan Murphy.

At a Paley Center event Wednesday night, Murphy confirmed that Season 6 will be the final one for “Glee.” He also revealed that Cory Monteith's death has forced him to come up with a completely different ending for the show.

“The final year of the show, which will be next year, was designed around Rachel and Cory/Finn's story,” he told reporters. “I always knew that. I always knew how it would end. I knew what the last shot was. He was in it. I knew what the last line was, she said to him.

“So when a tragedy like that happens, you have to sort of pause and figure out what you want to do. So we're figuring that out now.”

Murphy said he does have a general idea of how he would now like the show to end.

“I'm going to tell the studio and the network (in a week) how, after Cory's unfortunate passing, we can end the show that I think it very satisfactory and kind of in his honor, which I love.”
